Hear 2 Heal

This morning I was going through my list of reviews and I finally got to Eliot Sloan's interactive performing arts project called "Hear 2 Heal". You may remember Eliot from being the founder and lead singer of the platinum-selling band, "Blessid Union Of Souls". Well, Hear 2 Heal involves him going into schools and helping the students to create their own performing arts adventure to the music of his band, and then playing that experience out on their school stage to friends and family. Quoting from his website,"This will give the students an opportunity to be heard and address their
issues through the music of Blessid Union and their media of choice
(choir/band/theater/AV/dance...), and then heal through the process of expression and opening lines of communication."

I honestly felt moved when I learned about what he was doing. He seems like a caring person that really does want to help kids, and we all know that kids really need good mentors early in their lives, especially during their high school years. I encourage you to get your schools involved and learn more about what Eliot is doing. And please watch this video because it helped me understand it better.

About Me

Contractor by day, college student by night and a music blogger when I get free time.
I have been intrigued in finding the most underground music, that very few people know about. Much of my catalog was built upon the backs of those that contributed for a short while and then faded away. Additionally, back in the cassette days, I used to just walk into the record store and look for the most bizarre name and cover and just buy it. More often than not, I found great underground music that way. However, It is much more difficult these days finding great Christian artists. Even more, when I became a Christian, I realized the need to better examine what kind of music I took in. A good friend explained that, "Words are powerful; and when words are combined with music they become an extremely powerful force that can influence our lives negatively or positively". If you are a Christian, my hope and prayer is that you will seek to find a better selection of music that will edify and strengthen your walk with Jesus. And finally, I would admonish you to explore all that I have put together and draw your own conclusions.
